Email Templates
Emails may be sent in multiple languages based on the sender's language or on the receiver's language. The emails templates are placed on disk, in a directory specified by you and must follow the steps below to get picked correctly by the SIL engine.
...
Within the templates any standard or custom field defined in the issue that called the routine can be referenced using the notation $field$. In fact starting with version 4.0 we expanded this notation and created a meta language named STL (not from Standard, but SIL). This language allows embedding snippets of SIL within the template. So, for instance, you can output multiple rows in a html table. You can read more about STL in a dedicated chapter.

There are 4 email senders available:
Mail Sender | Description | When to use |
---|---|---|
Container Sender | Uses Jira to send mails; mails are enqueued in the standard Jira queue and the call returns immediately | In most cases, this is what you should use. It offers good performance and it relies on the standard Jira mechanism. |
Direct sender, custom | Connects to the SMTP server and sends the mail. You need to specify the mail server parameters | You need to configure another mail server for the mails and you want to wait for the send confirmation to arrive before continuing your SIL program |
Direct sender, defaults | Same as above, but takes the configuration from Jira SMTP server | You just want to wait for the send confirmation to arrive before continuing your SIL program. |
Null sender | Logs messages to be sent in the Jira log | Debug and Development |
Note that a mail that has been successfully sent does not mean that the recipient got the mail. It can be rejected for multiple reasons. SMTP does not guarantee delivery!
